<there's a Z in Kyrgyzstan that I missed...> Ooops, I missed that one, so I guess that puts me on half pay. I only found the other one because I asked Google where the heck that place is. Mq

Aren't we too Euro-centric? East meets west here. A few facts cloud our views: 1) We are biased by our western outlook. 2) Majority of us are from Europe ancestry. 3) We focus too much on the middle east two geographic points Saudi and Israel. If we cut a line, with say one thousand Km with, from Iran all the way to Europe, we will find out that the east meets the west here. History was made here all the way to 1500 when the gravity center moved to Europe and the western hemisphere. Perhaps now with the China and India rise, we will rediscover this part of the world. Thos countries on the 1000 Km wide line are reorganizing: First Yugoslavia melt down. Then Czech-Slovakia split. Then the creation of the countries which were satellites of the Soviet union. Now regime changing: Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan and the others to follow. Perhaps we will see their revival.
